A HORSE ON HIM.
Health Officer KilvingtOn Makes
An Indefinite Death Report.


DR.. S. S. KilvingtOn, since his appoint
ment as health officer, has been very
exacting in requiring physicians to full
fill to the letter the law regulating the
reporting of deaths, which reads as
follows:
Section g. Any physician having attended
a person during his last illness shall, within
ten 10) days after the decease OF such per
son. furnish for registration to such clerk or
health officer a certificate OF the duration of
the last illness. the name of the deceased, his
age the disease of which the person died
and the date of his deceaSe. And any physi-
clan or midwife having attended case of
confinement shall, within ten 10) days
thereafter, furnish for registration to said
clerk or health officer, certificate of the
date of birth. sex. color of the child, with
the names. dates and places of birth of the
parents. If any physician or midwife neg
1ectS to make such certificate he or she shall
forfeitth sum of twenty-five (S25) dollars,
10 be collected as other fines are collected by
law.
The other doctors think they ''have
it, on the health officer himself, for as
physician he recently turned in the fol-
lowing indefinite report of death:
Date, of death, not known; name,
age, color and sex not stated,
neither was it specified whether the de-
ceased was married, single or widowed.
The parents of the deceased are given
as Frank and Lille Barnes, living at
l414 Second avenue south. The inter
esting fact is mentioned that they were
born in America, but the cause of death
and duration of sickness is strangely
omitted

reference to the health department and
the sanitary condition of the city, will
present a report indOrSing DR.. Kilving-
toms report in all particulars and
recommending that at least one crema-
tory for burning rubbish and garbage,
as suggested by DR.. Kilvington, be
erected without delay and given a
thorough trial. The report will further
recommend that in case this erematOry
gives satisfaction that three OF four
others be built and the city dump aban-
doned at once. All the aldermen and
other officials who have given the sub
ject careful attention, are more than
pleased with it and want to see the plan
tried as soon as possible. Aid. Clark.
in speaking of it said that, in his Opin .
ion, it was the only correct way to dis
pose of garbage, as it put it out of the
way completely, left no smell and was
much more healthful than depositing
the stuff along the river bank. Aid.
Stoft said: "A crematOTy can not be
built any too quick, for under the pres
ent system the health of the city must
soon suffer- Aid. Cooley remarked
that he considered it the only correct
solution of a most difficult problem.

The Journals talk of city gas plant Is a
little absurd just at this time, as outside Of
the forty years franchise, the city let its

the gas office was pumping information into
the journal, it is a little singular it omitted
these important facts.

The dramatic quality of her voice was
also shown. A. ID. Saxon made de-

FASCINATING JEWELS.

Ioiters Who Gaze With a Longing
Desire Upon the Contents Of a

Jewellers Weekly.
''DO ever keep lookout for suspi

window with pieces of lead pipe or
bricks? No, can't say that do" said
retail jeweler in answer to the ques-
ton of reporter. "The watching
wouldn't amount to much unless it was
pretty steady, and that would necessi-
for that purpose also. But funny
thing that | do notice is the regularity
with which some people will come up to
gaze upon certain article, who never

desire to purchase it.
Now, a schOOlboy will come again

looking individual, who came regularly
every morning and took long look at
a handsome diamond and ruby bracelet,
worth nearly $500, and always went

bracelet was sold that man came up and
looked high and low for the familiar
object. Finally he walked in and de-

IN A THEATRICAL WAY.
HENNEPIN AVENUE THEATER.


1t has been a long time since old
John Dillon has delighted a Minneapo-
lis audience, but he proved last night
that he has lost none of his vitality. 1t
may be that there are funnier men on
the American stage than John Dillon,
but, if so, they do not come West. The
play Wanted, the Earth" is a modern
American comedy, embOdying the fash
iOnable American idea that money is
the one thing needful to ere
ate happiness. The situations are
excruciatingly funny, and the audience
IS kept in one constant roar from the be-
ginning to the end. The most peril
nent criticism would he that there are
too many comic characters in the play.
1t will run the remainder of the week,
with Saturday matinee. All lovers of
broad American humor should be sure
TO see Dillon in at least one perform
ance.

CRAZED BY DRINK.
PerilOus Freak Of an Intoxicated
jockey.

CHICAGO. Dec. IA man hanging to
a narrow window sill. his feet resting
on two-inch ledge of stone seventy
feet above the stone pavement below,
was sight that at $50 o'clock this
morning held a crowd of fifty people
spellbound in front of the Congress
house on State street. A patrol wagon
was called and the police rushed to the
door of his room and found it locked.
From another window they assured him
that they would break in the door and
save him, when he declared that if they
touched the door he would jump. A
hook and ladder truck was called and
the jumping canvas spread below the
window. Then ladders were put up,
and, fighting like tiger, the man was
rescued. He was taken to the armory
and locked up. He proved to be James
DOrwOOd, an English jockey who has
been here about three weeks and has
been drinking heavily. His insane
freak is attributed to that fact.

II o'clock Wednesday evening at the
Clark house. The trouble was over a
misunderstanding between Francesca
Fillippi, a member of the Boston Ideal
chorus, and the porter OF the hotel.
Francesca, while on his way to his
room, discovered the lunch that was
left in the hall for the pOrter's midnight
supper, and at once made break with
it for his room, only to be captured by
the porter, who had blood in his eye:
A lively scrap ensued, but neither OF
the men received much punishment. 1t
is good warning for theatrical men to
order their midnight lunch brought to
their room, instead of carrying it them
selves,
